Yes. I still write. It is a part of the way I breathe. My core of being. The selfless self.
As an artist you must realize that your work, as any other business, is about making a market or capitalizing on a market someone else creates but cannot fill (i.e. Sia became a pop star because Lady Gaga started pursuing the "art pop" route, but did not have an image previously built up through the community of artists who listen to music for integrity purposes over booty poppin club beats. Sia did and has for ages... I knew her because literally every person who has ever performed in a dance competition has watched 100 girls dance to "Breathe Me").
You have given me faith... Perhaps there is a way to make this art, one I had believed for so long to be dead, but never stopped loving; my aged photo of a missing man in a broken locket, alive again.
